Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has criticized the federal government’s reintroduction of the old national anthem, calling it a waste of time and resources. He emphasized that Nigeria faces more pressing issues such as hunger, economic instability, and crumbling infrastructure, which require urgent attention.
Speaking yesterday, Makinde highlighted the critical state of the nation, urging the government to focus on addressing the immediate needs of the people rather than engaging in superficial changes. He stressed the importance of prioritizing economic development, production, and the empowerment of citizens through education and training.
Makinde called for decisive actions from the federal government to tackle the nation’s challenges, underscoring the need to focus on practical solutions that will improve the lives of Nigerians. “Our people deserve a government that is focused on their needs, not on distractions and empty gestures,” he said, advocating for a unified effort to build a better future for all.
